This unique work for advanced ensembles explores three fundamental minimalist approaches, but through the lens of very atypical styles to the minimalist genre. Influenced by the masterworks of Glass, Riley, and Adams, the composer uses a limited melodic/rhythmic palette to maximum effect, even including a rock-inspired shout section leading to a furious conclusion.

A String of Pearls is a five-movement suite for piano duet. Written in 2017 for the Darina Piano Duo, the duet is intended for pianists who particularly enjoy playing expressive and evocative music with a hint of minimalism. The minimalist style is often associated with music featuring repetitive structures or note patterns. Each movement represents a different pearl, reflecting the precious jewel's characteristics as well as its corresponding symbolism.

Rob Goorhuis wrote his Variations on a Pentatonic Theme (1987) for the Royal Wind band of Thorn, conductor Jan Cober.
The work consists of five character variations on a pentatonic (five-tone) theme. The basic elements of the theme are the descending minor third and the descending major second, which in the course of the composition build up to a broad melody, unfolding itself in the final variation.
The first variation resembles minimal music in its repetitive rhythmic motives.
The second variation is explosive in character: rapid broken chords provide a background for soft solo motifs.
The third variation is a quiet intermezzo on a slow chorale theme, creatingtwo contrasting moods.
The fourth variation is a light-hearted scherzo.
The final variation is a brilliant finale with all the necessary ingredients, or, in the composer's words, the works

Zijn Variations on a Pentatonic Theme componeerde Rob Goorhuis in 1987 voor de Koninklijke Harmonie van Thorn o.l.v. Jan Cober.
Het werk is opgebouwd uit vijf karaktervariaties op een pentatonisch (vijftonig) thema. Basiselementenvan het thema zijn de dalende kleine terts en de dalend secunde, die in de loop van de compositie leiden tot het ontstaan van een brede melodie, die in de laatste variatie tot klinken komt.
De eerste variatie doet denkeneen minimal music vanwege haar repeterende ritmische motieven.
De tweede variatie heeft een explosief karakter. snelle akkoordbrekingen vormen de achtergrond voor zachte, solistische motieven.
De derde variatie is een rustigmiddendeel met een langzaam koraalthema. er worden twee contrasterende sferen opgeroepen.
De vierde variatie is een luchtig scherzo.
De slotvariatie is een virtuoze finale met, volgens de componist, alles erop en eraan.

A second volume of 21 hymn accompaniments with minimal pedal from Lynn Trapp. The widely used tunes are treated with great creativity, while limiting pedal movement and keeping accessible hand positions. Each tune has an Introduction, Setting A, and Setting B, and most have an Interlude--some with a modulation. Several tunes work very well with either the right or left hand soloing out the melody. A great resource for any organist!

An abundantly versatile composer, Peter Foggitt in A Christmas Lullaby tunes in to the spirit of minimalism that has inspired so much remarkable music since Tavener, Gorecki and Part discovered a new gift to be simple in their ground-breaking works of the 1970s and 1980s. To the nativity scene painted in words by John Addington Symonds the unchanging-changing chords of the limpid accompaniment for organ or piano bring an aura of rapt intensity and communion. With the clarity of an icon, this is a cradle song for an infant king who is also the Prince of Peace and a child in a manger, and a study in expressive and disciplined singing for SATB chorus.

A Tedious Brief Scene: Bottom's Dance (2011) is a fine example of Holmes work from her career as a composer and educator in New Zealand for over 25 years. Holmes was inspired to depict the character Bottom from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in writing this lighthearted work. It is highly engaging and energetic with elements of minimalist techniques of layered melodic ostinati, and jazz-influenced and non-tonal harmony. Like the character and scene from Shakespeare's play, the music oscillates between moments of poignancy and boisterous self-confidence. It incorporates a variety of accented rhythmic patterns, changing metres and delicate melodic material, which gives pianists an opportunity to demonstrate their individual and combined talents as a chamber ensembles. It is suitable for performance by secondary students of approximately Grade VIII and above (ABRSM / Trinity).It is now available for purchase as a study score and/or performance set (parts only). This listing is the performance set of parts only.

Traci ng the journey of a bottle carrying music, Miguel del Aguila’s MUSIC IN A BOTTLE is exhilarating and ravishing, yet equally poignant with sadness. The 10-minute work draws inspiration from post-minimalist textures and rich harmony. It is technically within the reach of intermediate to advanced students, as well as enticing for professional recitals.
Music in a Bottle portrays the symbolic journey of a bottle carrying a message across the oceans and finally sinking without its message ever having been delivered.The bottle and its journey represent to me our own selves and our own lives’ journey, and how when we die we take with us most of the memories within us, many of which were undisclosed to everyone else.The work is divided in 3 sections:I. The Bottle’s JourneyII. The MessageIII. The Bottle SinksMusic in a Bottle has been recorded by James Miltenberger on the Scotwood Music CD, “20th Century Dances and Improvisations.”â� ��” Miguel del Aguila.

Nocturnes have a long tradition - from the notturni by Mozart and Haydn via the nocturnes of the Romantic era to Chopin who elevated the genre to fascinating character piece: He created ambivalently shining gems in an unreal world of human nature which were as close to the extremely sublime as to a demonic abyss. Enjott Schneider's '3 Nocturnes', the core of each of which is characterized by a Latin motto, stand in this tradition. Cicero's 'Somnus est imago mortus' sees sleep as a resemblance of death. 'Die Zeit eilt weg, die Liebe aber bleibt' [Time passes but love remains] explores the ambivalence between that what is hurrying and that what stays eternally. Ovid's 'Der Tropfen hohlt den Stein nicht durch Kraft, sondern durch stetes Fallen' [The drop hollows the stone, not by force but by constant dripping] has its counterpart in a minimalist motif which has a lasting influence on the listener through its constant sounding.
